ON A DONKEY

Folder: 
Easter

 

On a donkey, my King rode

into town that day

and we all knowed

He was trying to say

that victory was at hand.

Maybe we didn't understand

the kind of victory

we were about to see,

but we praised Him anyway.

We laid palm leaves in His path

promising to follow Him.

 

Then He was crucified

upon the hill of Calvary.

Oh, painfully He died.

We just could not see;

we didn't understand

that victory was at hand.

The empty grave shocked

and surprised us. Locked

themselves in the upper room

His closest followers did.

Then He came and spoke to them.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Woke up this morning, realizing it was Palm Sunday and after reading the account of Jesus coming riding into Jerusalem just days before His crucifixion I felt inspired to write this little poem.
